About Us

A Pioneer in Investment Management

Our singular mission is to support the goals of Harvard

Formed in 1974, HMC manages Harvard University’s endowment and related financial assets. Led by our President and CEO, Stephen Blyth, HMC’s singular mission is to produce long-term investment results to support the educational and research goals of the University.

HMC pioneered and continues to implement a unique approach to endowment management. Under our “hybrid model” of investing, we manage money through internal investment professionals, as well as through relationships with third-party managers. This approach provides depth and breadth to HMC’s market perspectives. Our
Public Markets team, led by Michael Ryan and René Canezin, brings top-quality investment management to HMC's trading platform. Our
Alternative Assets team, led by Andy Wiltshire, ensures access to cutting edge capabilities from specialized teams around the world. Active management through both
these platforms permits HMC to be nimble and responsive to changing market conditions.

HMC has also built a world-class operational structure to support our investment activities. Led by our Chief Operating Officer, Bob Ettl, our outstanding support staff brings a wide range of expertise to our portfolio management. These functions include operations and corporate services, as well as information technology to develop and implement the systems necessary to support these activities.
